Give a warm welcome to Dave the tortoise, Ringo the cat, Yeti the Jack Russell cross and Dude the cat, who is pictured having a stretch.

Dave’s owner Mark Russell said the tortoise is ‘a character’ and loves to sunbathe in the garden.

Ringo the cat from Christchurch is also pictured outside, sitting among the flowers on the garden fence.

Owner Mark said: “She is so relaxed and loves to eat and sleep.”

Debbie Willis introduced us to her Jack Russell Cross Yeti.

She said: “People says she looks like snowy from Tintin.”

Last but not least, we introduce Leyla Suleyman’s cats Dude and Missy from Bournemouth.

Dude loves to stretch out on the radiator over the colder months and cuddle up with his sister Missy.

Owner Leyla said: “He’s so chilled nothing bothers him, he loves to talk to me when the kids are asleep.”
